Good but itchy. I was admitted to the hospital and normally smoke half a pack a day. Since I can't smoke at the hospital they gave me the nicotine patch. It gets rid of my craving perfectly, but where the patch is itches a lot. While using this product the first and second day it took me three hours to fall asleep, which is unusual for me. On the third night I had migraines and couldn't sleep at all.
